True Lies was a weirdly solid top down shooter, it did a lot of neat stuff and was structured kind of like Doom or Wolfenstein but not an FPS. And it was incredibly violent for a SNES game too.

PunkBoy posted:Which 90s movie tie in games were good? I remember having Toy Story, but I only recall playing Lion King and Aladdin at friends' houses. They made a SNES game based off on The Poseidon Adventure from 1972. It's a movie and game about people trying to escape a luxury ship that's been flipped over by a freak tidal wave and is filling up with water. You get 1 real hour to try and make it out with as many people as possible, and features some seriously harrowing platforming with AI followers as the whole ship is listing from side to side. Multiple playable characters with their own stories and starting locations, and a bunch of mostly bad endings even when you make it out (because like 2000 people died). It's pretty difficult to play but there's absolutely nothing else like it. Check this poo poo out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQrnQmYWIEA

I almost put the Dr. Pepper in the fridge, but then I realized that would be a waste of time.

It's wild hearing all these opinions about Dr. Pepper when I had never heard of the drink until I started reading American media? Here it has always been either a Coca Cola drink, Pepsi drink or off-brand from the supermarket chain. Oh and also Aquarius, market as an energy drink no athlete drank which my mother gave me when I was ill and lost a lot of fluids, to recover them despite being so sugary I'm sure it made things worse.

Sakurazuka posted:It's pretty much the perfect Gamepass game, a ~5 hour 'experience' that I would probably have balked at paying money to own but will happy play for the monthly sub. yeah, i would definitely recommend it for gamepass - it's solid for what it is, but it's mostly a very pretty romp without a ton of gameplay as-is to speak of. the middle section of the game is the part that i think got the most polish and refinement, since it's what got shown in all the trailers, but it's also the only stretch of real "gameplay" as such aside from a single (frankly kinda bad) boss near the end it's also a game that feels almost deliberately designed to be so obscuritan that only youtube lore channels will have anything approaching a clear picture of what's going on, possibly to generate more interest in the game in the long term

Infinitum posted:That's sorta a bummer in a way cause it looked like it had been presented as H.R. Giger Does Doom most of the trailers, at least from like 2020 onwards, showcased the gunplay as being very slow compared to an average FPS, and that made its way into the main game. it's mostly more about tactical resource management, although you'll generally have enough ammo to blast through probably 90% of the things in the game without issue i get the impression that they'd planned to do more with it before they ran out of money and time, as the gunplay feels weirdly vestigial with the overall length of the game. you get your 4th weapon very late in the game and only use it to solve a couple puzzles and on a single enemy Vermain fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Oct 15, 2022 |

They did another "disaster survival" game where you're playing what looks like secret of mana but as a firefighter and you're having to rush through a burning skyscraper. It was an snes game that was just called "The Firemen" or "The Firefighter" or something like that. The entire ouevre of video games that are just disaster survival titles is incredibly overlooked and underrated. There are so many great quality titles, lots of unique little gems, some real oddball titles, just a whole buncha stuff. The r-type devs had their own series disaster games and unfortunately the 4th game in the series was delayed and cancelled after being fully finished and ready to ship because the release was interrupted by the 2011 tsunami that hosed up Japan real hard. They thought it'd be pretty bad taste to release their game then. They eventually just remade it from scratch years and years later, as well as putting out a separate disaster survival game where the disaster is that Ultraman, Godzilla, and EVA-01 are stomping around causing a ruckus. There are also some rts disaster relief games I can't remember the name of, but I doubt it'd be too hard to find them by just looking up rts disaster relief game. Disaster games are cool. Maybe one day someone will make the Californication video into a playable and good video game with better music.

It's still weird to me that the xenoblade devs made a disaster survival game on the wii, Disaster: Day of Crisis, that just never got an NA release. All because of Reggie.Wikipedia posted:The game's North American release was cancelled due to poor sales outside the country and the fact that Reggie Fils-Aime, then-president of Nintendo America, hated the game, calling it laughable and overpriced.

So this year I spent a whole lot of time playing FFXIV but then I tried to join a static for Abyssos savage that pretty much immediately disbanded and so then I went and played other games instead. So here are some quick reviews of games I've played recently: The Excavation of Hob's Barrow -- A nice, creepy little adventure game. It's well done all around, a great game to play in October. The Case of the Golden Idol -- An Obra Dinn-inspired puzzle game. It's good--maybe a bit easier than I'd hoped but well crafted and fun to work through. Return to Monkey Island -- There's no game I'm more nostalgic for than Monkey Island, I played the first two countless times as a kid. I was skeptical about Return but it ended up being everything I could've hoped for, just a perfect addition to the series. I'm pretty sure the ending will always be controversial, but it hit well enough for me. It's well worth playing if you're a fan of the series at all. Horizon: Forbidden West -- It's hard playing a game like this after Elden Ring--where Elden Ring learned all the right lessons from previous open world games Forbidden West seemed to have only learned the wrong ones. It's undeniably a solid, well-constructed AAA open world action RPG, but it just feels dated already. I still enjoyed it a lot, though, and I thought the writing and story were almost as good as they were in the first game.

I've been playing the Coral Island preview through Gamepass, and that seems like a really solid Stardew clone. It's specifically Stardew and not Harvest Moon, I want to clarify, it pulls inspiration directly from that game's mechanics and story but it's all streamlined, with great graphics and a storyline with bigger and clearer stakes. It has a lot of missing features at the moment but what's there is proof of concept enough that I'm definitely going to pick it up when it's fully released.

I haven't played Stardew before. Are there any features you'd expect should be there aside from the ones mentioned by the devs as being on the to-do list on the Steam page?

Unions are still good, but it's not hard at all for companies throw their resources around to abuse union workers as much as possible. I have a friend who works in the movie/TV industry as a crew member, they are apart of a union, and despite this have been on sets that required working 16 hours a day with zero breaks including lunch.

What would a living wage for that kind of job be? Like, obviously more than the 4k she was offered but idk what it would be. I didn't watch the whole vid or the followup vids so apologies if she gave a number there.

To me, a living wage would be based on the city a person lives in. It would be enough that at most 30% of their income goes towards the average cost of a 2-bedroom home for rent or mortgage. Nintendo is a massively wealthy and profitable company, they can afford to pay every single employee this amount easily with no problems.
